Alderaan, located in the Core Worlds
, is the second planet in the Alderaan system, and the home of many famous heroes, including Princess Leia Organa, Viceroy Bail Organa, and Ulic Qel-Droma. Renowned galaxy-wide for their planet's unspoiled beauty, refined culture, and commitment to peace, Alderaanians work with and around the land to preserve as much of the natural surroundings as they can.
Originally the home of the Killiks, Alderaan was later conquered by humans. Despite a battle during the Great Galactic War and a civil war during the subsequent Cold War, Alderaan remained peaceful during much of galactic history.
